Blepharidopterus chlorionis, commonly known as the honeylocust plant bug, is a mirid bug and significant pest of honey locust trees (Gleditsia triacanthos). Nymphs and adults feed on expanding leaf tissues using piercing-sucking mouthparts, causing leaves to crinkle, twist, cup, and become stunted. Damage is most severe in spring when new foliage emerges, though trees often produce a second flush of leaves in summer that masks early injury. The species completes one generation per year, with eggs overwintering in twigs and hatching when buds break in spring.

kelleyi
Bobitobus kelleyi is a species of rove beetle in the family Staphylinidae, subfamily Mycetoporinae. It is widely distributed across northern North America, with records from numerous Canadian provinces and U.S. states. The species was described by Malkin in 1944 and belongs to a genus within one of the largest families of beetles.
Bolbocerastes imperialis kansanus
Bolbocerastes imperialis kansanus is a subspecies of earth-boring dung beetle in the family Geotrupidae. Described by Cartwright in 1953, this subspecies is part of a group of beetles specialized for burrowing into soil. The genus Bolbocerastes contains species found in North America. As a member of the Bolboceratinae, this beetle likely exhibits the subfamily's characteristic adaptations for digging and subterranean life, though specific details for this subspecies remain poorly documented.
Bolbocerastes regalis
Regal Earth-boring Beetle
Bolbocerastes regalis is a species of earth-boring scarab beetle in the family Geotrupidae. It is found in North America, specifically in the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico. The species was described by Cartwright in 1953.
Bolbocerosoma confusum
Bolbocerosoma confusum is an earth-boring scarab beetle in the family Geotrupidae, described by Brown in 1928. It is native to North America, with documented records from Arkansas, Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas. As a member of the bolboceratine geotrupids, it exhibits the family's characteristic fossorial adaptations for burrowing in soil.
Bolbocerosoma pusillum
Bolbocerosoma pusillum is a species of earth-boring scarab beetle in the family Bolboceratidae, described by Dawson and McColloch in 1924. The species is distributed across North America and comprises two recognized subspecies: the nominate form B. p. pusillum and B. p. townesi described by Howden in 1955. Like other members of the genus, this species is associated with burrowing behavior in soil and is attracted to light sources at night.
